Just a note for any Focusrite Liquid Mix users out there using Snow Leopard - DON'T update to the Mac OS 10.6.1 revision. This is a small revision anyway, apparently to fix some Quicktime problems, but it also doesn't get along with the Liquid Mix. I was able to get it back again by downgrading to 10.6, but it took a lot of messing around.This is apparently a known issue that Focusrite is working on.

You really are having a fantastic time with your gear right now, aren't you?
Eitherway, sad to hear you're having so much trouble with things as of recent :( Hope it all works itself out!
I'll say it yet again- Time Machine! While it can take hours and hours to restore, it's backups can really save you in cases like this.
@Seamus - Tell me about it. I'm just glad all this nonsense waited until my album was done. Still no picnic to deal with in planning a tour, but manageable.
@Steve - I definitely intend to go that route once I get some dedicated drives for backup.
I have found a combination of Time Machine and Super Duper to be ideal. I have a Time Machine backup that protects against accidental deletion of files, or changes to programs, plugins, OS updates and such. It allows me protection from subtle issues that I don't necessarily notice immediately. I use Super Duper to create a bootable drive from which I can get right back to work if my drive suffers a catastrophic failure or my machine is stolen. The smart backup makes my daily backup take very little time, and I might lose less than a day of work.
I quite like this setup as I feel quite safe from most issues that a dead drive or a software problem might cause.
